Shaw is a partner with Western Justice Associates in Missoula, Montana, where he focuses on personal injury and civil litigation involving catastrophic injury, wrongful death, insurance bad faith, products, property, and related disputes. The practice includes serious civil claims for individuals and other clients in Montana. Shaw works on matters that require careful review of the facts, governing law, and the client’s practical objectives. The work stays closely connected to the decisions, risks, transactions, or disputes that brought the client to counsel.

Shaw earned a J.D. from the University of Montana School of Law in 2010. His legal education led to a litigation career in Montana state and federal matters. This academic background supports legal analysis, research, writing, and problem solving. The training also supports careful review of rules, records, documents, and options within the lawyer’s current practice.

Shaw has experience with approximately nine years defending insureds in catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, insurance coverage, bad-faith, product-liability, property, and agricultural-loss cases before joining Western Justice Associates. That defense background provides perspective on the insurance and liability issues that often shape serious civil claims. This experience supports organized matter development and preparation for negotiation, transactions, administrative proceedings, trial, or appeal when required.
